Woman’s Toyota burns up after she lights incense to pay respect to car goddess

A Thai woman in Kamphaeng Phet province just lost the front part of her Toyota in a fire yesterday after she lit incense sticks inside to pay respect to the “goddess” living inside her car.

On the occasion of the Buddhist Ghost Festival yesterday, in which Thais of Chinese descent pay respect to their ancestors, Janjira Tuangyu, 24, decided to light incense sticks to honor her Toyota Vios’ goddess and insert them into the tiny space between the vehicle and the license plate.

After the ceremony, she went back inside her apartment to take a shower, but she heard the building’s maid screaming after she found the car in flames.

What's the most "sulit" driving school around the metro? What i mean sulit is less price but with a best lecture/on-hand experience, if there is such thing.

You might ask, do i have experience? I was taught to drive for about less than an hour, in a straight road, in a subdivision. I was able to go through a couple of humps though, which is nice. LOL. I don't even know how to turn the signal light on coz i never experienced turning right/left so i don't know if i should need to enroll in beginners or refresher.

I understand that they process the students license? Will they process the non-pro too after 6months? Or I'm asking too much? How much money do i need to prepare?

My dilemma: i don't own a car. The only reason I'm hesitant to enroll is i wont be able to apply what I've learned. Someone said to me that it doesn't matter, as long as you've experienced it, you should be ok even after some years of not driving. Is this even true? God knows when i'll be able to purchase my first car. The experience and the ID would be a bonus though.

MANILA, Philippines – Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Tim Orbos on Wednesday, November 23, said he favors the 3-digit coding scheme being proposed for December.

House Minority Leader Danilo Suarez initially suggested adding one more number per day to the coding scheme as Metro Manila expects even worse traffic during the Christmas season.

Suarez said that as of the end of October, 23,000 new vehicles had already been purchased – 65% of these in the National Capital Region.

"We need to have that supreme sacrifice of adding one more number to the coding. Dalawang araw sa isang linggo (Two days in a week), you are practically removing 30% of vehicles in our major roads. With the no window hours policy, we already reduced to 20%."

Orbos said the "no window hours" policy has been effective, with travel time reduced by 10 to 15 minutes.
